After their long summer holiday, children are generally happy to be back at school, especially those at Escola Sao Paulo who couldn’t wait to use their own tablet PC for all their classes and homework.
About 200 children who are in Primary 4 now were already at school on Monday where they took a one-day training course on how to use their tablet PC.
“It’s so slippery,” Eric Mak Kin Wong, who is nine and a half, told MPD Weekender as he tried to write his name on the touch-screen of his tablet PC, which he will be using for the next six years at school.
